    I was in the pub with a group of friends last night one of whom was boasting about her skills with "martial arts" and ability to split others in half with a sword. This was a girl weighing no more than eight stone talking absolute tarmac. I told her that she was a spoofer and "martial arts" are a total waste of time and energy.

    It got me thinking about other spoofers I've encountered. We all know the type. Lads claiming they could have "made it" in football if it weren't for an injury, people saying their friends from "northside" Dublin are really witty when they're just obnoxious blowhards, lads on the internet making out they're unreal self-made hardshaws when they wouldn't say boo to a ghost.

    What about you? Have you met any spoofers in your time?

    Knew a bloke years ago that worked in a clothes shop, saying 'Ah, Bono's in here all the time', be telling lads in the pub that himself and myself pulled some gorgeous women the previous week when we hadn't even been out and I'm sitting right beside him with a 'What the fcuk' look on my face.

    The usual ****e....if you went to some random town in croatia and ended up on a bender for 3 days in Otočac with a jewish family that escaped from Auschwitz, this lad did it the year before for 4 days.

    I worked with a girl one time, her brother had a baby with his wife. She told us that it was her baby, and since she was so young, her brother and wife adopted her child.

    Quite unreal that I was watching Reeling in the Years tonight and there was a bit about Eamonn Coghlan and it got me thinking along these lines. I knew a girl said she grew up beside him and he couldn't catch her in kiss chasing. (Didn't want to more like). Also knew some lads and one should have been with/instead of Paul McGrath going to United and was a better player but for injury, also Ronnie Whelan. Same he was a better player but for his knee or whatever.

    In fairness Coghlan wasn't a snappy sprinter, he could just stride for like 2 or 3 minutes really good.

    Reminds me of the time me, Johnny Cash and Sam Cooke were driving to the Fleadh Ceoil in Killarney. A fellow in a cowboy hat was thumbing a lift. Sam didn't want to pick him up but Johnny did. I said "go on Sam, it's pisin rain, the poor whore must be frezin". In the end Sam relented and the guy hopped in. Turns out it was Ronald Reagan.

    It;s Friday night. You were drinking. You posted on boards. In after hours.

    Pretty damning evidence, I believe.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    It's sad to say but there is an awful lot of spoofers in this world.
    Ranging from the type who you can't believe a single word they say, to people who like to big themselves up here or there.

    My ex always had friends who got better deals on everything. I spent whole days and weeks finding the best tv for the best price and sure enough . Her culchie friend got it cheaper from some shop in ballybackward.

    I source a car in the UK. Time spent flying over and driving it back 2.5 k cheaper than anywhere in Ireland and sure enough. Her friend at work got it cheapr from the dealer with 3 years free service...

    Thank duck she's my ex. Ducking idiot!

    Maybe she's well able to split others in half with a sword and only societal norms prevent her from doing so.
    Maybe it was a personalised warning to you to stop staring down her top. Pervert.
